Optimise sanctions compliance with pinpoint precision

The expansion of international sanctions and governmental efforts to fight terrorism pose evolving challenges for compliance departments.

You are now required to screen transactions and customers against rapidly growing lists of sanctioned individuals and organisations. Automated filtering tools often generate false positives and false negatives, meaning follow-up searches must be conducted manually, which is time consuming and risky.

Take control of sanctions compliance with maximum accuracy and efficiency using our modular set of shared services. These include transaction and name screening against standardised sanctions lists, along with integrated reporting and case management.
